Grow 3.3 | Fast Buds | Gorilla Strawberry Auto | windowsill
HandsomeTerpz This week, I started germinating the Fast Buds Strawberry Auto strain using the proven paper towel method combined with a plastic bag to maintain optimal moisture and warmth.
After approximately 5 days, the taproot was long enough to proceed to the next stage. The germination process took slightly longer than usual, likely due to the seed's age — it was about 1.5 years old. Despite its age, the seed germinated successfully, which speaks for its quality.
Summary:
Strain: Fast Buds Strawberry Auto
Method: Paper towel + plastic bag
Germination time: ~5 days
Note: Extended germination period due to seed age (~1.5 years)
Status: Taproot sufficiently developed, ready for transplanting into the medium
Outlook:
The seedling will now be carefully transferred into the growing medium. The focus over the next few days will be on stable root development and gentle early growth under controlled conditions. Consistent moisture and proper lighting will be key to giving this older genetic material the best possible start.

Week 2
Since this grow is intended for the windowsill, I am initially raising the plant in the grow tent to give it the best possible start. Once the final transplant into the main pot is completed, the plant will be moved to its permanent spot on the windowsill. So far, the seedling is developing beautifully — strong, healthy, and right on track.
Here too, I am using the soak-in method and providing the plants with Canna mineral fertilizers, Coco A and Coco B + Calmag, to promote direct and rapid plant growth.

Woche 2
Da dieser Grow für die Fensterbank bestimmt ist, ziehe ich die Pflanze zunächst im Zelt vor, um ihr den bestmöglichen Start zu ermöglichen. Nach der finalen Umtopfung in den Haupttopf wird die Pflanze dann an ihren endgültigen Platz auf der Fensterbank umziehen. Bis jetzt entwickelt sich der Sämling prächtig – kräftig, gesund und voll im Zeitplan.
Auch hier verwende ich die Soak-in-Methode und versorge die Pflanzen mit mineralischem Dünger von Canna, Coco A und Coco B + Calmag, um ein direktes und schnelles Wachstum der Pflanzen zu fördern.
